Pancreatic Cancer Facts Pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancers for which survival has not improved substantially over nearly 40 years. Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. 91% of pancreatic cancer patients will die within five years of diagnosis – only 9% will survive more than five years. 74% of patients die within the first year of diagnosis. Few risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer are defined.

The Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Research Center Some of the risk factors include: 1  Cigarette smoking: Cigarette smoking doubles the risk of pancreatic cancer. 2  In fact, some scientists have estimated that one in four, or one in five cases of pancreatic cancer are caused by smoking cigarettes. 3  Smoking is also associated with early age at diagnosis.

Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer Treatment of Localized Stage IVA Pancreatic Cancer. Pancreatic cancer is often not diagnosed until it is in Stage IVA, meaning the cancer has invaded adjacent organs or major blood vessels. When this occurs surgical removal of the cancer (which provides a chance at long-term cure) is seldom an option.

Pancreatic Cancer Doctors can seldom explain why one person gets pancreatic cancer and another does not. However, it is clear that this disease is not contagious. No one can catch cancer from another person. Research has shown that people with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop pancreatic cancer. A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease.

Pancreatic Cancer Overall, it is estimated that 5% to 10% of people with mesothelioma live at least five years after the cancer is found. These estimates are based on data from thousands of people with this type of cancer in the United States each year, so the actual risk for a particular individual may be different.

Pancreatic Cancer Life Expectancy Generally however, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor. The average pancreatic life expectancy is around 4 – 8 months and will vary depending on which source you use. It is important to remember this is just an average of all patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The one year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is approximately 25% (one quarter). This means on average 25% of people with pancreatic cancer will live for at least one year after diagnosis. Medical professionals often use the term ‘five year survival’ when discussing the life expectancy for various diseases. The five year survival figure is the percentage of patients who are alive after five years after pancreatic cancer is diagnosed.
